First off, this is shit position for you to be in.

I perused your comment history as I often do with HNers.

Some guy was predicting this exact situation in 2009 and your comment was that this would all sort itself out due to market forces. The market forces have spoken and the market lacks empathy.

Hope you get your account back and then when you do you hop on to the the other side of the fence. We can all stand to learn from your experience here and 2009 was a long time ago.

If you are in the EU or an EU citizen you will have options (you can email them from the email associated with your account asking for all your data). If you are in the US (assumption) you will be stuck with their ToS and hope some guy in Meta with leverage reads this who simply wants to help.

For reference I proudly do not use any Meta products exactly for these reasons. This is an absurd and dystopian position to find yourself in.

I'm in Canada where we can't even see or share news on Facebook

I'm sorry, what? What happens if you try to share news on Facebook? Does it bury it in the algorithm?

Just gives you an error if you have a link to a “news” site in your post.
